Every year, around 3% of births in the U.
S.
are twins, and that number has been slowly increasing.
Of course, twins mean twice as much as everything for the parents, and you'll want to throw an extra special kind of baby shower for them.
Consider planning a themed baby shower, as a theme will determine the decorations, invitation style, etc.
With these parameters in place, the baby shower is easier to put together, and a "two peas in a pod theme" is the perfect baby shower for twins! Think In Pairs Two peas in a pod has become a popular enough theme that you will find several companies offer invitations, custom labels, thank you cards, decorations, and party favors all in this theme.
As you shop around and compare companies, you'll want to look for several things:

1. Pick a company that can supply as many of the products you need as possible.
   This enables you to coordinate all the elements together, with a consistent look, colors that match, and one font throughout.
   
2. Look for a retailer who doesn't require a minimum order - this way, you can order just the number of invitations you need.
   Also, if the retailers offers you a couple of extra mailing envelopes, that's a bonus!
3. Many companies or printers offer the two peas in a pod design with the "little sweet peas" in a variety of ethnicity.
   This allows you to get the perfect invitations, party favors, thank you cards, etc.
   

Twice As Nice Once you've chosen your baby shower invitations, you'll need to plan food and refreshments and party favors.
Keeping within the two peas in a pod theme, any dishes that include peas, snow pea pods, or even food that looks like peas (such as grapes) will work.
Asian-inspired salads of snow peas, mai fun noodles, and julienned carrots in a ginger-miso dressing are a perfect first course, especially if served in round green bowls.
Another option is pasta tossed with early spring vegetables, like fresh sweet corn, diced baby carrots and sweet peas, tossed in a light broth and citrus sauce.
A fruit salad of grapes, melon balls and kiwi quarters completes the theme.
Party favors are a snap for a two peas in the pod baby shower: scented soy candles in green, topped with a two peas in the pod label is a great beginning.
Add to that, cellophane bags ofwasabi peas or green-dyed mini popcorn balls.
Finish with chocolate bars wrapped in personalized two peas in a pod candy wrappers, and your guests will be delighted with their fantastic gift bags! Planning and throwing a baby shower to welcome a pair of twins is easy with a two peas in the pod theme.
With a little research and creativity, you're sure to host a baby shower that is more than twice the fun!
